LES MISERABLES

It appears that Nick Jonas is branching out from his Disney roots and will be joining the cast of Les Miserables in London this summer. The 17-year-old Jonas Brother will play Marius at the famed Queen’s Theatre the the West End theater district for a three weeks at the end of June. He&#039;s movin&#039; up!

Nick was first earmarked for the role when he was just 10 years old after being spotted by producer Cameron Mackintosh playing Gavroche in the production’s run on New York’s Broadway.

Cameron told the Daily Mail newspaper: “I went up to him at the closing night party in New York and told him he was terrific and hoped that one day he would return to play Marius. We&#039;ve been in touch a lot and, of course, since then he has become this world-famous star. He and his father and I agreed that it would be great if he came and played Marius here in London.”

Cameron has praised Nick for his commitment to the production, as the Fly With Me hitmakers broke off from a concert tour to allow their brother to appear in the West End show. Cameron explained: “He has bent over backwards to fit it all into his schedule.”
